Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 251,459,597 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 251,459,597 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 37,59,514
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1122062
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1122062
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 251/37,459/59,597/514 is 1/1122062
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 37,59,514 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(37,59,514) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(37,59,514) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(37,59,514) = ( 37 × 59 × 514 ) / 1
LCM(37,59,514) = 1122062 / 1
LCM(37,59,514) = 1122062
